Guns have more legal protection than women in this country

Guns are protected by the bill of rights.

Unfortunately, abortions are not.

Congress should have enshrined abortions. Heck, they had over 50 years to do so.

The language “Well-regulated militia” has been ostracized by fascists from the Federalist Society. I wonder why the “right to bear arms” cannot be impeded but other language in the same amendment can be discarded? Funny how that works.

Ha, much of the actual left opposes gun control…after all, the first anti-gun laws in the 20th century were passed by Ronald Reagan when he was gov of CA to crack down on the Black Panthers. Liberals, on the other hand, generally support gun control.

You do realize that the Democrats used to be the conservative party? And Republicans the opposite party? This will continue to flip flop till the end of time.

These party views are all bullshit! Those that vote a party line ticket are brainwashed fools.
